THARANGA 2017 From the age of 6 months I have been taken on trips to the jungles of Sri Lanka by my parents. And I am continuing to do so as a 27 year old currently with my parents and friends. It has been running in my family’s blood to enjoy roaming the jungles and to be alongside wildlife of different sizes, shapes and colors be it from elephants, birds, and leopards to sloth bears. That love for the bush and its animals which runs in my veins makes me want to return to the jungle almost once every two months even with the busy schedule as an ERP systems consultant. The amazingly unique experiences, moments that I encounter in the jungles made me buy a camera purely to capture them so that I can cherish them later on with my family & friends.
